we had one lad called bungalow cos there was nothing upstairs

and another called barra cos he needed a push
 
had one lad called Chocolate, because he was as much use as............well , you know the rest !
 
Blatant thread resurrection.:D
Used to have a female apprentice that I called “Shag”. She loved it but her dad raised a few eyebrows….lol.
 
I was called mad max for a while when i crashed a few forklifts in quick succession.

I was called cool hand luke by some people. I had a habit of walking about with my hand in my pockets.

I now get called the stig because of my silky skills at driving the mewp.
 
Donkeys years ago we had an apprentice we called “The snitch”. He is qualified now and still works for the company. Worked with a new lad recently and he informed me that he had been working with “The snitch“. What’s really funny is, his wife and kids call him that as well…pml.
 
I had an Apprentice who was a goalie for his local team they never won much, soapy was his name, get it? ball skills like a bar of soap, well I thought it was funny anyway.
 
had an aprentice and we called him "banger" because he had a huge sausage he is in his 40s now and still gets called "banger"

Mine on a course I've been doing - "brains" (then again thats not hard given that most of them on that course struggle to count beyond ten without a calculator....)

Ginger guy on my course gets called Ed Sheeran...seriously spitting image...

The Mrs... "Bump", "Crash Test" (both as she is clumsy and falls over anything and everything...)
 
One lad we had had a nickname of Thrush, well he was an irritating little 0000 I'll leave the rest to your imagination
 
One lad I had working with me took up boxing to an extent where he did all the training and was well "into" it - He only had one fight however and after his defeat became known as Sugar Ray No Punch - He still goes to boxing for training and keeping fit but has never bothered with getting in the ring in anger any more hehe.....Tis a cruel world.
 
Just remembered a couple more
Gloves - Because he wore gloves
Twit - He was mentally challenged
Thumbs - Had the biggest thumbs you ever saw
 
"Gumbo" as he had no teeth and big ears lol
